The outer plate would list the daily chores (sweep bunk, take out trash, etc.) and the inner plate would list the camper's names. It was a system that made sure that the crappy chores were rotated equally. Do you use a similar system for commenting on blogs? :) hi karen: you can order the HYP, GS & SS at amazon (i prefer to have hard copies and don't mind paying) or you can read 'em direct from the publisher here: www.yogavidya.com hey zee…when I was a kid at sleep-a-way camp we used to pin two paper plates together.

We might claim we hate it, moan about how miserable we are because of our problems, say out loud that we want to be content, but...we are addicted to the drama. The thrill, the chase, the dissatisfaction. The problem is, we love the drama!
